Hello everyone,
Yeah, I know it’s been awhile since you’ve seen any new material on here. Chilljam.com was on a roll for a little over two years straight with releasing new content every single week without fail. However, suddenly, we’ve disappeared for a month…
What happened?
Well, as with anything in life, we’re going through a bit of a transition period. Recently, Tony Biedenkapp has been playing with us much more regularly and we’re working on transitioning his sounds into the sound in a much more effective way. In addition, we’ve been recording some videos but have been having trouble with our audio recording equipment. Hopefully, we’ll resolve these problems as soon as we can, however, you’ll be able to check out some of the videos starting with tomorrow’s post. We apologize for the interruption in content but it’s been good having a bit of a break to refresh and rethink our approach. You’ll be seeing us get back on track with regular weekly posts again soon enough.
Thanks to everyone who’s been hanging out with us and checking out our material.

Here’s a remix of the spoken word piece, Notes. Lots of crazy sounds. I’m having a great time with Ableton Live.

This is a recording of me learning a new instrument. I purchased a copy of Ableton Live to play around with and as soon as I learned the where the gas pedal was, I went ahead and turned “record” on and this is what happened.
I love mad scientist experiments. I feel like I just created a monster.

Swimming with Sharks :: Live Music Video
Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe to Feed | Follow on Twitter
The fourth and final video recording we have from the Greene Turtle set is a improvisational performance of Swimming with Sharks. I’d written the words to this about a week before the show, reflecting on a very difficult work project I’d recently completed over the winter. During our set, Jeremy switched into jamming on this chord progression and I immediately thought the words might work with the progression so I just started singing along to it.

Here’s the third video installment of our set at the Green Turtle. It’s a cover of Hurt, by Nine Inch Nails. Unfortunately, the beginning of the song wasn’t caught by the video so it starts off in the second verse.

Blackbird: Live :: Free Music Video

Apologies to everyone for disappearing for so long.
Several weeks ago we were asked to perform at a fundraiser for Team Maryland at the Greene Turtle in Frederick. We agreed to play but wanted to work out a fluid set mixed with songs we could improvise on, yet work with some structure. We also threw in some covers, such as this video of Jeremy and Neil playing Blackbird, by the Beatles.
Keep an eye out in the next couple of weeks as we release other performances from this set.

This one is a strange novelty I was playing around with. The entire piece is done only using the text-to-voice features built into Mac computers. No additional effects were used.

A Rube Goldberg machine is a deliberately over engineered machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction.
